Well, for me as I own 287 (similar to 289) and 189, word better is subjective as 28X series is more for logging meter with high accuracy, graphic display for log view & deep memory, while 189 ... subjectively of course, to me is the most versatile daily use grab meter as it boots really fast (hate 28X boot time) and with a really sharp & contrast LCD display compared to 28X, also feature wise is really good too especially for electronics instead of electrician work like 87X does. And 18X models use 4 AA cells.  :-+

The 28X models are the successor of 18X which is discontinued.

Used Fluke 189 which I scored while ago.



Size comparisons between this popular Fluke models => 87V 189 287.

BBB .. the Beauty, the Beast and the Brick.  :-DD

That's not a brick, this is a brick!
Might be too extravagant in the immediate future. I wouldn't know where to put all the numbers on those big displays.

I've had my Fluke 87V/117 pair for going on 4 years now.  They compliment each other nicely.

I got the 117 when my old Craftsman died.  I knew nothing about meters or electronics in general at the time except that Fluke was supposed to be good.  Then I saw Dave's review of the 117 (the first EEVBlog video I ever watched) and heard him say that my shiny new meter was useless for electronics.

"Well shit, what does this crazy Australian think is a good electronics meter?"

I eventually found his 87V review, bought one, and subsequently fell into the electronics hobbyist rabbit hole from which I've yet to emerge.

Thanks a lot, Dave.    ;)

there was an eBay guide to flukes.  one of eBay regulars wrote it. if I recall right, series 1 and series 2 have the lightning bolt, series 3 is when they started listing cat rating. find that guide, very useful.
